Figure 16. DSP Serial Digital Interface
timing interface
The timing interface performs accurate timing control of baseband uplink and downlink paths. The timing
interface is a parallel asynchronous port with four control signals, refer to Figure 17. The BDLON bit controls
power on the downlink path of the baseband codec; the BULON bit controls power on the uplink path of the
baseband codec, and the BCAL bit controls the calibration of the active parts of the baseband codec selected
by BULON or BDLON.
The BENA bit controls the transmission of the reception of burst depending on which part of the baseband codec
is selected by the signals BULON or BDLON. These asynchronous inputs are internally synchronized with the
uplink and downlink internal clocks and stored in timing register TR. The timing register, TR, is a 6-bit register
containing the bits defined in Table 3.

TR bit signification
ULON:
If set to 1, this bit turns on the uplink path of the baseband codec; if cleared to 0, the uplink path
is in power-down mode.
When this bit is set to 1, the uplink offset autocalibration is active.
ULCAL:
ULSEND:
A transition from 0 to 1 of ULSEND initiates the emission of a burst. The burst information
data, burst length, and power level need to be loaded in the corresponding registers using the
serial interface.
If set at 1, this bit turns on the downlink path of the baseband codec; if cleared to 0, the
downlink path is in power-down mode.
DLON:
DLCAL:
When this bit is set at 1, the downlink offset autocalibration is active.
DLREC:
A transition from 0 to 1 of DLREC initiates the transmission of data from the baseband codec
to the DSP using the serial interface.
